The Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL finally launched today, and to be honest, there isn’t much we didn’t already know about the phones.

The Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL come with new features not present in any of their predecessors but also keep some of the old features. To start with, both phones feature OLED screens with a 90Hz refresh rate that Google has termed Smooth Display. There are no notches but their foreheads stick out thanks to the sensors packed underneath.

The new Pixel 4 phones also come with an extra camera on the back – a telephoto lens which means portrait mode gets even better on the Pixel phones. There is also a new way to unlock your device and make payments – Face Unlock (RIP fingerprint scanner), and a new way to control your device without touching it thanks to Motion Sense which is powered by the Soli Radar chip.

Active Edge is still present, so you can squeeze and activate the all-new Google Assistant. The Titan M Security Module is also back again to keep you protected. There are stereo speakers but no audio jack and you also get an eSIM along with a nano-SIM slot. You also get at least 3 years of security and OS updates.
